The Detroit Free Press is reporting that a federal judge has ordered the state of Michigan to recognize 300 same-sex marriages in Michigan today, calling them a "fundamental right."
"In these circumstances, what the state has joined together, it may not put asunder.," U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman said in his opinion.
U.S. Supreme Court could decide whether to hear MI same-sex marriage case
The 300 couples wed last March after a federal judge struck down the state's ban on same sex marriage. The state has since refused to recognize them.
